A new collection of plays by the award-winning author of Marjorie Prime.

Harrison J: Maple and Vine & Other Plays

Maple and Vine & Other Plays

Methuen Drama Play Collections

Elaine Romero is an award-winning and prolific Latina playwright with a career spanning more than thirty years. In her Border Trilogy-Wetback, Mother of Exiles, and Title IX-she presents a striking and prophetic vision of life along the US-Mexico border. 

Her plays tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time, including debates on undocumented immigration, gun safety and schools, and gender discrimination in the workplace. The heroines of the trilogy are Latina educators caught in different moments of political upheaval as they attempt to negotiate the crevices between the personal and the political. 
 
Wetback charts the intertwined fates of an accomplished Latina principal, a Chicana activist journalist, a Mexican undocumented worker, and a white supremacist superintendent and his two children. Mother of Exiles features an Ivy-league educated Latina who returns to teach theatre in her hometown, only to find that it is the moment the state has decided to arm teachers as the frontline of defense against school shootings. Title IX begins in 1972 when a teacher hesitates to use the law when she is sexually harassed in the workplace; the second part takes place in 2016, when her adult daughter seeks help through Title IX in a similar situation. All three plays interrogate race and gender in a society (and system) still struggling to see how the world we have created/legislated differs from the world in which we live.
 
In this, the first anthology of her work, Elaine Romero's plays introduced by Jimmy A. Noriega who contextualizes the plays alongside her remarkable life and achievements .

Wetback; Mother of Exiles; Title IX

Elaine Romero: The Border Trilogy

Between 2020 and 2022, theatre had to adapt and, in doing so, challenged ideas of what was possible - and what was even 'theatre'. Due to the global pandemic, an exceptional and wide range of works were made for, or adapted to, brand new conditions and limitations. While these works are defined by interpandemic conditions in the Anthropocene, they serve as portals to thinking about theatre-making in the future. Gathered in this collection are pieces adapted or made for podcast theatre, a livestream illusionist interactive performance, an audience-uploaded hybrid performance, one-on-one online interaction, lip-synch opera-theatre, climate crisis activist manifesto film/theatre, spoken word and gaming installation art and multi-location broadcast plays, providing an accessible introduction to 'Transmedia' theatre. Transmedia theatre has been a boundary-breaking and rich area of performance since the 1990s, but the (by necessity) explosion of works that were created during the early years of the pandemic signalled a new, exciting and accessible method by which theatre-makers could share their work and also challenge their own practices. While these specific works are markers of a specific time in performance history, they also point ways forward, not only in terms of form and function, but in how educators, students and fellow practitioners could conceive of re-staging these works in person and/or on digital platforms. For a generation that has grown up online, whose vocabularies of expression are as much digitally native as they are IRL, transmedia theatre, and the realm too of VR and AR story and audience design which it borders, holds a firm place in busting open the realm of the possible.

Poor Clare

Discover the work of 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh, whose work contests the pastness of the past, revealing the unexpected ways that history reverberates across the present to shape the future. Through his plays, Lloyd Suh has been documenting 150 years of Asian and Asian American experiences, exploring forgotten and ignored pivotal moments in Asian American history. His plays draw on a variety of forms and aesthetics to re-tell, re-discover, and re-invent the past. Unique in scope and perspective, these history plays offer a powerful metaphor for the ingenuity and endurance of Asian American communities. Alongside these five plays - The Chinese Lady, The Far Country, Bina's Six Apples, Charles Francis Chan Jr.'s Exotic Oriental Murder Mystery, and The Heart Sellers - this edition is rich with additional resources. Not only is each play accompanied by a preface by a theatre scholar and a postscript by a creative collaborator, but the collection opens with an introduction by editor Christine Mok and closes with a conversation with playwright himself. Taken together, the plays, along with their context, criticism, and collaborative insight, offer an expansive view of Suh's vision in an inaugural collection to inspire theatre makers, actors, and students alike.

"There is great imagination and intrigue here, and it is eminently entertaining." - The GuardianBackdropped by the bleak English moors, two sisters (and their dog) live a dreary existence, as they dream of forbidden love and power. So, when a hapless governess and a moor-hen arrive at their manor house, the two see a chance to claim what they've always wanted... no matter how destructive. A loving pastiche of the gothic genre, Jen Silverman echoes and channels the Brontë sisters in this irreverent celebration, that is equal parts brutal, lusty, and deranged. A macabre, queer thriller, The Moors is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Christine Scarfuto.
